did 5 laps yesterday (tuesday)
2 reasons to pr
- wife wanted to go home early
- pr last week but did not store the timings
so i wanted to proof i can still do it again mah. light jog from office to klcc track. i used to be shy to do jog by the roadside but recently thought that i should n hope to encourage/inspire others. reach klcc park started stretching. ran clockwise.
2nd lap saw kenneth. i think he just finished his run and try to run with me. as i was trying to pr i did not wait for him nor did i look back to check. pls forgive me lah kenneth. last week when trying to pr, tourist ask me to take photo i also did not stop. wah when trying to pr really selfish lah!
3rd lap rohaizad said some encouraging remarks like alrite man
4th lap kenneth said 'hey 7min lap ah?' just nod only, gasping. there were many people at the park, runners and non-runners. almost banged into a fat lady that was not looking where she was going laps.

some have been asking me about my recent timing improvements. i m no ronnie or justin but i actually did improve since i started running. this is what i can think of n want to share :-
- build a base, i started running january this year, i guess a bigger base will be even better
- last week i was having a pissed day n it was good to let it out by trying to pr/run hard
- started drinking milk, apparently it helps reduce fat and improve running
- breathing, i guess u have to experiment, for me when i focus on this somehow i feel lighter n last longer
- turn over, i go faster down the slope, i m still experimenting how to improve on this
- let yourself go, sometimes during the run i feel like i m holding myself back, experiment n run at pace n style most natural n relax keeping in mind to go forward as effortlessly some years back i read that many hold themselves back in bed for whatever reasons mmm...i think is time to let go, ahh aah aahhhhhhhhhh
- lean forward, julian shared this with us from the book 'chi running' by doing this it takes less effort to move forward, it works for me, thanks julian
- mental, usually by the 2nd last lap i feel like stopping, this is when i think of:-
- how lucky i m, to be alive, to have 2 legs, to be physically normal and so on n on
- inspiring moments/people anything positive
- !##$%&*(() anything i m angry with.
Looking forward to the more experience runners to have even more to share.
